Ummm... pay phones still accept incoming calls, I called my girlfriend from my cell to a pay phone by her while she was camping, and couldn't get cell service.

And how are pay phones any more helpful to drug dealers than cell phones? If anything cells are much more helpful. Plus, who cares about drug dealers?

drug addicts......

Haha, true. I used to have a major problem with drugs, and thankfully my girlfriend helped me overcome that, so what I'm saying comes from experience.

I hate when people blame drug dealers, or drugs for the problems drug addicts have. Nobody can make you become a drug addict, you choose that life for yourself. Nobody ever made me do drugs, I just wanted to, and never cared how it was ruining my life until about 7 months ago. But, I have never blamed anyone else for my problems. I didn't blame anyone else for my problems with drugs, or for me dropping out of school. I have always taken responsibility for my problems.

People always try to push the blame away from themselves by saying it was someone else's fault.

"I didn't really want to do drugs, it was peer pressure!"

"Rock music made me do drugs!"

"I did drugs because m family life was bad and I needed an escape!"

"School and life are too stressful, I needed to do drugs to relax!"

These are all common excuses, but in the end, your problems are nobody's fault but your own.

+1 Cam, A1!

well said.

Some payhones will still accept incoming calls. If you really need that feature go to a pay phone call the operator and ask them if the phone can accept incoming calls.

Payphones help crime since you don't really know whos making the calls. (unless you have that phone under some type of surviellance) You could see from the logs what numbers were called tho.

Cell phones can be tracked whether you are aware of it or not.
Then again people serious about crime just get clean cells and chuck them after one use.

i guess the elimination of the pay phones is the reason for the astonishing decrease in crime here.

Atlants is supposed to be the third most dangerous city in the US now. Most of the places wouldn't seem like it, but when you hit those ghettos near downtown, with cops patrolling constantly, it makes sense.
